We had a cold front come through and yesterday morning my boyfriend turned on our fish tank heater (10 gallon - 3 Cory's, 2 shrimp, and 1 snail). Well the slighted turn changes the temperature by quite a bit but I was not there and he turned the knob prety far. He left for work at 8am. 12 hours later he noticed the temperature was "84 degrees" and our peppered cory was being sluggish. He changed a gallon of water, turned the heater off and it came down to "78".
So tonight (36 latest after the initial temp spike) I see that our cory is still sluggish. I also find out that my boyfriend doesn't know how to read a thermometer and the temperature was actually 90 degrees!!! And the lowered was 84!!!! OMG!!!! It is 78 now and all our fish are fine except for this one cory. He is being sluggish at th bottom and it doesn't look like he is eating. He is not moving much at all when he was always scavenging before. Whatccan we do to save this fish!?! He seems to be takin the temp spike hard.. Please I want to save this lil guy we've had him the longest!!!!
